I have a Yardman 158cc 5.00 briggs and Stratton. Would someone explain to me how to locate fuel filter.
 
If you think you have bad fuel flow check it out first. If you don't have a shut off valve block off the fuel line as close to the fuel tank as you can ( clamp or vice grips). Remove fuel hose at carburetor and loosen your clamp with a container under the hose to catch the fuel. This will let you know if you have bad flow or not. I am taking a guess this is a push mower and has a fuel primer. Yes if you have been putting dirty gas into your mower you can well be having carburetor problems and need the carburetor cleaned.
